Solo porque una cámara termográfica posea un rango térmico que va desde temperaturas muy bajas hasta temperaturas muy altas, no significa que la cámara pueda soportar dichas temperaturas en el ambiente donde trabaja. Se debe distinguir entre el rango térmico de la cámara y las condiciones de temperatura ambientales donde podría funcionar. El rango térmico de la cámara se define como las temperaturas que podrían ser detectadas o medidas por la cámara infrarroja.

Malgré le fait que votre imageur infrarouge peut afficher une étendue de plage de températures très élevées ou très basses, il est possible que votre camera ne fonctionnera pas dans ces conditions. Il est nécessaire de faire la distinction entre les capacités indiquées en contraste avec l’étendue réelle des températures qui permettent son bon fonctionnement. La plage des caméras est définie comme: «la plage prédéfinie de températures pouvant être visualisées et / ou mesurées ».

Just because your camera has a very high or very low temperature range capabilities does not mean your camera will operate in those conditions. We must distinguish between the camera’s temperature range capabilities and its operating environment temperature capabilities. The cameras’ range is defined as: “the preset range of temperatures that can be viewed and/or measured”. Some cameras have a single preset range of temperatures and others have two or more presets that must be appropriately selected by the operator.

Muchas veces la termografía podría ser vista como algo que realizan los técnicos cuando no tienen nada más que hacer. Muchos de mis estudiantes son enviados al curso de entrenamiento de termografía porque su planta o empresa está trabajando a un ritmo reducido, permitiendo que las personas realicen otras actividades.

When performing a conduction inspection on a building many of the thermal patterns detected can be deceiving. Misinterpretation of patterns can be caused by a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) solar loading and soffit/eaves shading.

Thermography is often looked at as something a technician does when they have nothing else to do. Many of my students are sent to infrared training because the plant is operating at a reduced rate, giving people time to do other tasks. There are a few problems with using infrared as a “fill-in” job, performed only part-time. One issue is that the largest problems occur when a plant gets busy; there typically won’t be time for the person to do infrared. Another issue with using infrared only part-time is staying sharp as the thermographer entrusted with performing the inspections

Practice makes perfect! This is an old saying that we have heard for a long time. A lot of us just repeat it without really taking it to heart. After all, it was something my grandfather used to say when I complained about casting drills for fishing. I would have to Stand 30 ft from a bucket and cast a fishing line with a small weight into it until I could do it 25 times without missing. I knew how to use a fishing pole (I was all of 5 years old) why did I need to do this boring drill?

Motor tester manufacturer training and independent vendor theoretical training are generally quite different. Over the years I am certain that you have heard the phrase, “You get what you pay for.” There is a lot of truth in that short phrase. Whenever you purchase a product it pretty much goes without saying if you buy the cheaper one, it is of lesser quality, prone to problems, and will not attain the longevity of the higher quality product.

La mayoría de personas podría pensar que inspeccionar trampas de vapor es algo tan sencillo como decir que únicamente debería estar más caliente en el lado del vapor y más frío en el lado del condensado, pero debido a que podrían existir diferentes métodos en los que las trampas de vapor podrían remover el condensado, la respuesta podría ser un poco más compleja.

Industry specific euphemisms can be incredibly humorous. There are a variety of air brake switches in substations that linemen often call “popsicles”, for example. A tangle of wires is commonly called a “bird’s nest”. In building science there is a component used to help install fiberglass batt insulation called “Tiger’s teeth”, and if you are not using them you might be causing the insulation system to be less effective.
